Tailored Keynotes & Workshops for an Embracing Work Culture
To cultivate a truly embracing work culture, I offer strategic consultations for employers looking to provide tangible, high-impact resources for their workforce that include high-energy talks to motivate and inspire action.
I help employees understand how to “future-proof” their lives decades before retirement. I show them how small, strategic decisions made today—like integrating universal design into routine remodels and building “health equity” through simple habits—can save hundreds of thousands in future care costs.
Beyond my dynamic presentations, I work with your leadership or Employee Wellness teams to identify and implement programs to promote a healthier and happier workforce.
Empower your employees and community to take action TODAY for a vibrant, cost-effective tomorrow!

1:1 Virtual Consultations
Which Session is Right for You?
- The Q&A Strategy Session (55 Minutes)
The “Help Me Get Started” Session: This is a high-level, “choose your own adventure” style call. It is perfect for proactive agers who want professional guidance without the deep dive of a full home audit. Think of this as a casual, expert-led brainstorm to clear the fog.
- Cost: $425
- Best for: Quick answers, product recommendations, and habit-building.
- Common Questions We Tackle:
- “What is the best shower seat for my specific mobility needs?”
- “What exercises or habits should I start today to stay independent?”
- “I’m looking at a tech gadget online—is it actually worth the money?”
- “I’ve read your book; can we talk about how Chapter 4 applies to my kitchen?”
- The Goal: Enlightenment and a “Next Three” roadmap of immediate steps.
- The Full Virtual Home Audit (110 Minutes)
The “Deep Dive” Solution: This is a comprehensive, room-by-room forensic review of your environment. It is designed for those navigating a new diagnosis (like Parkinson’s) or families in the middle of a home renovation/transition.
- Cost: $750
- Best for: Detailed safety assessments, floorplan reviews, and “Stay or Go” decisions.
- What We Do Together:
- The Walkthrough: We review your pre-sent photos and video of every single threshold, path of travel, and room.
- The Hazard Audit: Identifying specific fall risks and “blind spots” in your current layout.
- The Contractor Roadmap: We create a technical plan you can hand to a builder or family member to ensure renovations are done right the first time.
- The Goal: A total environmental safety plan and a prioritized modification list
